Where to I fall on the political spectrum, from ultra liberal to moderate to ultra conservative?

I don't care if gays get married, and the government should stop trying to ban it

I believe that the Second Amendment gives U.S. citizens the right to own any weapon, including tanks, surface to air missles, or fighter jets if you can afford it, and the government cannot ban it

I am against the death penalty in any case

The government has passed too many laws to prevent or limit lawsuits against greedy corporations, insurance companies and bad doctors.

Our taxes are way too high, and the federal government spends way too much money

I am not sure if God exists, and if he does, I am not sure if he gets involved in human affairs

Abortion is murder unless it is done to save the mother's life.

Although President Bush has completely bungled the Iraq war, I do not think it is prudent to set a short time line for getting out right now

    Incredible....I agree with you on nearly every issue, except gun control and getting out of Iraq. I want our troops on their way home yesterday! I am against the death penalty and consider abortion as you do. I say taxes are not fairly charged, since most middle-income families don't enjoy the loop holes that are awarded to the rich. I'd classify you as a "moderate Democrat".

    I think you are a conservative at heart, but have been given bad information that has distorted your view on a few issues.

    If you believe in freedom and liberty, then you are conservative. To be consistent, you need to rethink some of your views and apply the principle of freedom to them.

    I believe that if you continue to educate yourself and apply your principles, then you will come around to the truth (conservatism) on all issues.

    I recommend that you pick up a book on critical thinking. Many colleges offer critical thinking classes, so you should be able to pick up a book on ebay or amazon for cheap. It will help you sort through the bad information that is prevalent in our society and apply logic and reason to your opinions.
